Cartier have long been producing extraordinary luxury watches, and their Ballon Bleu watches prove that this is still the case. The timepiece does not seem so unusual at first glance, but on more close inspection its remarkable qualities come to light.

Experience the Elegance of Ballon Bleu de Cartier Watches

It is the shape of the watch that is most stunning: its roundness does not stop with the case, but it is also rounded on the dial side and case back, giving the timepiece a pebble-like appearance when viewed in profile. It may be assumed that the shape of Cartier Ballon Bleu watches impedes on comfort, but quite the reverse is true. In fact, the shape gives the watch an intriguing attribute, as it appears to float above the wearer’s wrist. This marries well with the timepiece’s other striking feature, its sapphire cabochon decorating the crown and giving the collection its name. The blue is reflected in the traditional Cartier sword-shaped blue hands, giving the watch a sense of balance and design compatibility.

In addition to these features, the curvature of the crystal makes the Roman numerals distort slightly at different viewpoints, adding to the almost magical quality of the timepiece. The position of the crown and winding mechanism also serve to slightly displace the numerals, allowing them to stray a little from their customary path, and adding to the unusual effect. All these features make Ballon Bleu de Cartier a must-have for anyone looking to purchase a truly unusual timepiece.

In 1847, King Edward VII called Cartier “the king of jewellers and the jeweller to kings”, and this tradition continues to this day; Cartier timepieces are frequently seen upon the wrists of royalty, and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been seen to sport a timepiece from the Cartier Ballon Bleu watches range.
